For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical 
Storm Odalys, located well west-southwest of the southern tip of 
Baja California, and on Hurricane Polo, located a few hundred miles 
south-southeast of Manzanillo, Mexico.
Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands (Former TD 15-E):
The remnants of Tropical Depression Fifteen-E, located several 
hundred miles southeast of the Hawaiian Islands, has produced an 
increase in showers and thunderstorms over the last few hours. The 
environmental conditions are still expected to be conducive for 
further development, and a tropical depression is likely to form 
during the next day or two while the system moves slowly 
west-northwestward or northwestward. Interests in the Hawaiian 
Islands should continue to monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
South of the Gulf of Tehuantepec:
An area of low pressure is expected to form in the next few days to 
the south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Afterwards, environmental 
conditions should be favorable for gradual development, and a 
tropical depression could form late this week or this weekend as 
the system moves slowly west-northwestward to northwestward. This 
motion should keep it parallel to the coast of southern and 
southwestern Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
